White Sox signed C Welington Castillo to a two-year, $15 million contract with an $8 million club option for 2020.

The deal was first reported earlier Friday by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and it has now been made official. Castillo cranked 20 home runs while batting .282/.323/.490 over 96 games for the Orioles this past season and has averaged 16.5 homers over the last four campaigns. He'll be part of a rebuilding White Sox team but will get to hit in another favorable environment at Guaranteed Rate Field. Fri, Dec 1, 2017 02:46:00 PM

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the White Sox have signed Welington Castillo.

It's a two-year, $15 million contract with an $8 million club option for a third year, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. The White Sox were one team that had a starting catcher job open and they've landed one of the best free agent backstops available. Castillo hit .282/.323/.490 and slugged 20 home runs over just 96 games this past season with the Orioles and has averaged 16.5 homers over the last four campaigns. Fri, Dec 1, 2017 01:11:00 PM

Welington Castillo has declined his $7 million player option for 2018.

Castillo will try his luck in free agency after batting .282/.323/.490 with a career-high 20 homers this season for Baltimore. There's a good chance he'll land a multi-year deal. The Orioles have some internal options behind the plate if he departs. Mon, Nov 6, 2017 02:55:00 PM

Welington Castillo socked a two-run homer in Friday’s loss to the Yankees.

His second-inning blast against Luis Severino turned out to the the only offense of the game for Baltimore. They managed just three hits on the night against Luis Severino and David Robertson. Castillo has now reached 20 homers for the first time in his career. He previously had 19 homers back in 2015. Fri, Sep 15, 2017 10:02:00 PM

Nick Delmonico will be shut down for 3-4 weeks as he recovers from shoulder inflammation.

Delmonico injured his shoulder in the last week of the regular season. The 25-year-old utility player batted .262/.373/.482 with nine home runs over his first 43 major league games this season with the White Sox, though his minor league numbers suggest he's in for some regression in 2018.

Rodon also played catch Wednesday and these were the first back-to-back throwing days for the 25-year-old left-hander since he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his pitching shoulder last September. Rodon will not be ready for the beginning of the 2018 regular season, but the hope seems to be that he could rejoin the White Sox rotation sometime in May.

Nate Jones (elbow) has begun throwing and is expected to be ready by the start of spring training.

Jones appeared in just 11 games in 2017 after undergoing a nerve repositioning procedure that ended his season in July. The 31-year-old right-hander has a strong 10.8 K/9 over the last three years and could battle Joakim Soria for the White Sox closer job in 2018 if his health cooperates.
